In this work, the ecological mixture of alcohol with petroleum motor fuel was studied. Since one of the main qualities of an alcohol emulsion that determines its applicability in diesels is stability, the emulsion must have sufficient stability to operate the diesel for a long time. The results of microscopy of newly prepared samples of alcohol emulsions and samples with already started flocculation process are presented. The stability of alcohol emulsions with different amounts of alcohol and additives was studied. The optimal values of methyl and ethyl alcohol, water and additives in the emulsion intended for use in diesel engines were determined.
